Tick tock the domsday clock
It was in the news yesterday about the Doomsday clock and that it is now only 100 seconds from midnight!!
It was started at 2345 hours in 1947 as there was deep concern that the nuclear age would end the world.
Over time it has crept closer to midnight.
The latest is since Trump came to power, those involved say his talks and actions with N. Korea have moved the clock on.
Now the Climate Lot have latched on to it pushing it to the current point.
From Nuclear bombs to Climate Change, what next?
Speaking with my neighbor today, a guy from Holland, he tells me the news there according to his sister tells that the floods in Queensland have flooded half of oz.
Where does it end with the media to get a story?


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Tick tock the domsday clock
My calculations may be off, from 1947 to 2020 ( inc ) is 74 years. 15 minutes = 900 seconds. That's about 12 seconds a year. We might be good for another eight years. You are correct about the TRUMPANZEES. Blind followers down a bad path. Didn't that happen before and a second world war started ? Vote independent !
